The boys’ event will be divided into four pools out of which the top team will proceed to the semi finals. The girls’ event on the other hand will be divided into three pools with the top team in each pool and the overall best runner up to contest in the semi finals..

SCLPS clearly showed their dominance in the development stakes as both A and B teams took out their respective finals, while St Marys were the third victorious side. The number of new names to followers of Kenyan cricket should be as exciting as it must be daunting for the incumbents in the national age group sides. Perhaps if events like this were run before regional age group finals, Kenya would field stronger sides...
